Something a little different. I often photograph signs, posters and and information about what I am photographing and where I am. For example, in Zoos taking a quick snap of what the animal is, or when photographing a church taking a shot of its name. When you take thousands of photos a year it becomes…

The photo above shows one of the extremely ornate street lamps found in Leith, just outside Edinburgh, Scotland. A couple of years ago my Great Aunt once asked me to take a photo of a street lamp, I thought “pretty boring subject” but did it anyway. When I started looking more and taking more photos…

I have never seen rocks with such colour on a beach before. I am not sure what caused the bright red of the stone, but it was really enhanced when the waves ran over them. This is a small beach between St. Abb’s Head to the north and St. Abb’s harbour just a few hundred…

This is the second photograph on this site of Southport Pier in as many years and as many of you know I am always trying to improve on the older images. The above photo was taken a couple of months ago on a day trip to the coastal town of Southport in the north west…

This time last week I travelled from Edinburgh up into the Scottish highlands to a small village on the west coast called Plockton. It describes itself as “The Jewel of the Highlands”. It was my first trip north of Edinburgh and I quickly realised that the potential for good landscape photography is almost endless in…

Mark suggested a day trip to Southport; until I arrived it had completely slipped my mind that there was a great opportunity to take photos of the skate park from the pier. Last year I took a photo of a guy jumping the spine ramp. Today was much better, the light was fantastic and in…

I took the above photograph in June of last year on a weeks photography in Northumberland. We were staying less than a mile away from Alnmouth harbour, but it was only once that I made the effort to go down there with the camera (because there is so much in this part of England that…

Llandudno has been one of my favourite coastal places to photograph so far this year and although I only spent a few hours there, I feel that I have a lot of images to share. This picture caught my eye because of the sweeping curve of the sea on the sand. It was very deliberate…

This was taken as a test photograph. I was testing my camera on a long exposure and checking my manual focus was giving me a sharp image, waiting for the sun to go down and for the International Firework Competition to start. In my opinion this is probably my favorite “happy accident” photograph that I…
